December 13, 2006

If you've always loved to cook or are ready to make a career change, the Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College is accepting new students for the spring semester. Classes begin Tuesday, Jan. 16, at ACCC's Mays Landing Campus, 5100 Black Horse Pike.

The ACA offers two-year degree programs in culinary arts, food service management and baking and pastry. Full-time classes meet five hours a day, Monday through Friday, in a morning or afternoon session from January to May and August through December. Full-time students not pursuing a degree can complete the requirements for a culinary certificate in three semesters. Part-time and evening classes are available.

The ACA also offers four short-term specialization programs. Baking and pastry, hot food, catering and food service management certificates can be earned in less than one year-an ideal situation for industry professionals who want to strengthen their skills or for food enthusiasts interested in satisfying their culinary curiosity.

The Academy offers personalized, high-quality training at a low cost. The price of the program is considerably lower than that of comparable cooking schools. Financial aid, grants, scholarships and loans are also available.
